HOMEMADE COOKIES

Hi all, so this particular recipe was given to me by my Sis-in-law who is an excellent cook herself. The best part of this recipe is, its made of ingredients that we use daily especially in Indian cooking. Now I didn't have a couple of ingredients available so modified a bit and it was good all the same. I am listing both the ingredients. Both works well. Here it goes,

HOMEMADE COOKIES

INGREDIENTS

ALL PURPOSE FLOUR : 1/2 CUP
WHEAT FLOUR (CHAPATI FLOUR): 1/2 CUP
OR
MILK POWDER :1/4 CUP + 1/4 CUP ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
SUGAR: 1/3 CUP
ALMOND POWDER: 1/4 CUP
RAVA : 1 TBSP
BESAN: 1 TSP OR RAVA 1 MORE TSP
CARDAMOM POWDER: 2 PINCH
1 PINCH SALT
1 STICK BUTTER AT ROOM TEMPERATURE CUT INTO SMALL CUBES
1-2 TSP MILK AS REQUIRED





HOMEMADE COOKIES



MAKING

Mix in all the flours and dry powders in a bowl including Cardamom and Salt. Add in the Butter chunks one by one and mix them so that it becomes thicker and dough like. If that's not enough add in a Tsp. of milk to make it dough like. Make sure it isn't too watery or too mushy. It should be firm and coarse. Take small pieces of the dough and roll them into a ball and press to flatten and place them in a baking tray. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and bake it for 10-15 minutes. Flip them midway and allow it to cool once taken out. Delicious home made cookies are ready. My kids loved them. I am yours will love it too.

TIPS

Don't flatten the cookie dough too much as it tends to crumble. Just press them once and that's it. I did the Milk powder and extra spoon Rava(sooji) version and it came out really well. I think the Milk powder gives an extra flavor to the cookie. You can add Chocolate chips, roasted dry fruits to the same to make it more tasty. Enjoy !
